    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or other "advice for my personal situation" questions. If you are going to ask how to invest you should include relevant information, such as the following:

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive significant other?
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Amazon migrates more than 100 consumer services from Oracle to AWS databases

    Posted: 15 Oct 2019 02:55 PM PDT

    https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/15/amazon-migrates-more-than-100-consumer-services-from-oracle-to-aws-databases/

    AWS and Oracle love to take shots at each other, but as much as Amazon has knocked Oracle over the years, it was forced to admit that it was in fact a customer. Today in a company blog post, the company announced it was shedding Oracle for AWS databases, and had effectively turned off its final Oracle database.

    The move involved 75 petabytes of internal data stored in nearly 7,500 Oracle databases, according to the company. "I am happy to report that this database migration effort is now complete. Amazon's Consumer business just turned off its final Oracle database (some third-party applications are tightly bound to Oracle and were not migrated)," AWS's Jeff Barr wrote in the company blog post announcing the migration.

    More than 100 consumer services have been moved to AWS databases, including customer-facing tools like Alexa, Amazon Prime and Twitch, among others. It also moved internal tools like AdTech, its fulfillment system, external payments and ordering. These are not minor matters. They are the heart and soul of Amazon's operations.

    Anyone know anything about this fund?

    Someone I know is invested in it and I can't tell if it is solid or not. They are only looking for dividend income so it seems at a glance to make sense for them

    It's like a 10% dividend and trading at 11% discount to NAV currently so trying to figure out if it could be a buy

    Obviously if you check the price history this thing kinda cratered but it looks like it was at a 20% premium right before that, and I'm not sure if the current NAV discount even means anything. It also looks like a really high expense %

    Thoughts on quantitative strategy based on simple valuation and reallocation?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2019 09:22 PM PDT

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4296696-rotating-spy-ief-based-valuation-fundamentals

    I can across this article which has some pretty huge results for such a simple strategy. It's essentially beat the market by 7-8% over the course of 20 years which sounds way too good to be true. Is there any reason this might not be all it's cracked up to be even with back testing?

    Hi I was searching up portfolios and I was wondering if there was a ETF or portfolio solely comprised of derivatives ( mainly options, futures). If not what is the viability of such portfolio?

    Dow jumps 200 points as JP Morgan, UnitedHealth lead strong start to earnings season

    Posted: 15 Oct 2019 07:27 AM PDT

    PUBLISHED TUE, OCT 15 20192:10 AM EDTUPDATED MOMENTS AGO

    Stocks traded higher on Tuesday as the corporate earnings season got off to a strong start.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 200 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 gained 0.7% along with the Nasdaq Composite.

    "The early reporters must not have gotten the memo from market bears stating that we are in an earnings recession," said Nick Raich, CEO of The Earnings Scout.

    J.P. Morgan Chase shares jumped 2.5% after its third-quarter numbers topped analyst expectations. The company's revenue also hit a record, boosted by home and auto loans along with credit cards.

    UnitedHealth, another Dow member, posted a quarterly profit that topped analyst expectations by 13 cents per share. The company's results got a boost from growing pharmacy benefits. UnitedHealth also hiked its full-year earnings guidance. UnitedHealth shares climbed 7.3%.

    Johnson & Johnson, meanwhile, saw its third-quarter numbers lifted by higher sales of cancer and other prescription drugs. The numbers sent the stock up by 2.3%.

    So far, 34 S&P 500 components have reported third-quarter numbers. Of those companies 29 have topped analyst expectations, data from The Earnings Scout shows.

    It seems to be the way to calculate intrinsic value, but I can't help but feel it is very speculatory.
